Could somebody pls explain the hype about this game, it just looks like a blocky POS to me?!

You can build almost anything. You spawn in a randomly generated, infinite world where absolutely everything is waiting to be altered by your touch. You can carve away mountains to build castles, sanction away areas of the ocean for mining operations, or even build machines that operate on both analog and binary logic. It's a playground, but not one without struggle; you have to work for your resources. You tear down trees and cut boards for crafting, you wander dark caverns, fighting monsters from the shadows as you search for valuable ores and coal, and you devise a defense against the terrors of the night while making yourself a lovely home.

It's entirely open to your imagination. Anything from a simple house to a palace, or even a damn computer. There's tons of mods, texture packs, custom maps and mini games available. And the community can produce amazing things.

Yeah I'm with you mudshark. I'm not going to knock the game because I haven't played it but the hype never really struck me. It has always looked like a niche game to me. But since it will be coming to PS4 I might try it out.

I'm sorry, but Minecraft gives me eye cancer. At least with a PS1 game, I knew they couldn't help the way it looked, but voxel games seem like they're trying to cash in on the retro craze without realizing what makes those retro games special. Mincraft doesn't look fun to me, or interesting. I'm gonna be a voice of dissent and say LBP2 is way better. Now, I may want to give MC a try if I get an Oculus rift, but that will be on my PC and not PS4 (unless PS4 gets OR support, but even then...) because I think it would be interesting to experience that in VR, but aside from that, I don't understand the love for MC even among the "Play, create, share" crowd.

You dont play voxel games for graphics. To make minecraft really pretty and have "this gen" effects it can be really spec heavy. The game looks quite beautiful but you need like a 560+ to run it at a decent framerate.

Have you played it before? I'm not a big fan of the creation games, but Minecraft has its appeal. There's also the survival aspect that makes building more special and the exploration part is fantastic. You don't even have to like building stuff, since exploring caves and dungeons itself is fun.

I used to make fun of Minecraft till I played the creative mode. I loved playing with legos as a kid and it totally drew me in. I would love to play the vita version on the go, I'm really excited about the launch.

It is not trying to cash in on the retro craze... Not at all actually. Play before you judge.

MC takes a massive $#@! on LBP if you ask me. I've had way more fun just mining in MC than i ever had on LBP
